Local, Live, and Loud: September 5 – 18, 2012Wednesday, September 5 The Hives, Fidlar Club 90NE9, $35, 9 PM I think I was 11 the first time I got them. To this day, I’m not sure why they appeared or what caused it. Stress, maybe. But I was 11, for Chrissakes… what the hell could I be stressed about? Anyway, the itchy little […] Continue Reading |
Earthy Edibles: Muddled drinks for muddled mindsI’ve found that in these last grinding weeks of papers and assignments, my alcohol consumption has increased dramatically. This isn’t really the most logical way to behave when one has more responsibilities than usual, but it definitely makes things a lot more fun. So, school’s out… for my liver, at least. I’ve wanted to make […] Continue Reading |
Double Teamed: Time to explore the porno beatsPornography is becoming so mainstream, we decided it was time to Double Team it. Clorisa: Here’s the funny thing about pornography: my understanding is that it’s abundant, and free, but if someone was like, “Clorisa, go find us some free pornography,” I wouldn’t really know how to do that.

Earthy Edibles: Fancy-pants pizzaFinally, a gluten-free pizza crust that tastes delicious and isn’t just a dry cracker with toppings on it! This pizza dough recipe saved my life. And while it’s not quite the same as viciously tearing into a greasy slice downtown after the bars close, your taste buds and your tummy will thank you in the […] Continue Reading |
Double Teamed: Vomit, wet noodles, and thin bloodConsidering that we’ve left few taboos untouched, Double Teamed decided it was time to tackle the topic of sex while wasted. Clorisa: I am opposed to it. In my relationship now, she knows that if I’m drunk, she will not get laid. So we’ll go out sometimes and she’ll be like, ‘I think you’ve had […] Continue Reading |
What’s Up With Her?: How to confront a profI recently had a professor make a discriminatory remark about people with mental illness. The prof argued that most people wouldn’t want someone with a mental illness flying a plane. Our society has a very skewed idea of what mental illness is and usually associates it with negative tendencies. This adds to the fear these […] Continue Reading |
